--

Majolica is quite easily damaged, and this jug shows proof of that, in the form of several small chips. But still a nice example from this producer.

The bottom of the pitcher shows the factory marking "G&St.", as well as an inscribed number 1869. That number may represent the model number, or (less likely but not impossible) the year of manufacture.
